World POPE AND GROMYKO MEET IN AN HISTORIC FIRST: Pope Paul VI received Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko yesterday in an historic meeting that carriers the• dialogue between Roman Catholicism and the world of atheistic communism a major - step forward. in the lint meeting between a Rolnan Catholic pope and Soviet of ficial, Vatican sources said the pontiff undoubtedly had urged the Soviet Union use its influence to ease tensions endangering the wor 1 d. Gromyko said afterward that he and the Pope agreed "on the need to work to gether for peace independ ently of ideologies." The meeting which lasted 45 minutes, almost twice the length of an average private audience, was described as private •by Vatican sources. However, the presences •of the Vatican secretary of state, Amleto Cardinal Cico gnani*,and the Soviet ambasi sador to Rome, Semyon Koz yrez, • demonstrated that it was a diplomatic meeting. Later, Gromyko declined to say whether the Pope would be invited to visit the Soviet ANDREI GROMYKO Union and whether they had discussed diplomatic ties between Moscow and the Vatican. * * * U.S. AIR ATTACKS CONTINE IN VIET NAM: A new 852 raid yesterday on the Mu Gia Pass capped wide-rang ing American air attacks on North Vietnam. Field action picked up slightly in the South. U.S. and Vietnamese forces were reported to have killed 167 Viet Cong. Briefing offi cers disclosed that U.S. Air Force and Navy pilots flew 72 missions north of the bdrder Tuesday in the raids that stir red up Communist MIG fighters for the third time in four days. While a surge of terrorist activity claimed attention in Saigon, officials seemed more concerned by the Viet Cong's efforts to decimate local leadership and paralyze administration in the countryside. Authorities announced that Communist "special activities cells" have killed or kidnapped 4,338 goverment officials ranging from hamlet headmen to district chiefs, since the start of .1964. In a special Associated Press news analysis, correspondent Wil liam L. Ryan said that a challenge to U.S. airpower over North Vietnam raises the protest that the Southeist Asia conflict may be entering a more dangerous phase; one which could spell .gradual increased Soviet involvement. Up to now, Ryan continued, the Soviet Union has given the im pression that it would like to see some sort of settlement of the Vietnam war. But the Kremlin is: tinlikelY`io fake any, initiative - 'whicturmitht-daniage'clnTiittiriettdtirld - Communist movement:' Because Of the recent political tur bulence in 'South Vietnam's cities, it is likely the Com munist world now believes the Vietnamese struggle is nearing a decisive stage. In such a case, Moscoiv might be anxious to step up its help to the North Vietnamese and thus enhance its influence in Hanoi at a time when im portant decisions could be in the making. The Nation PENN-CENTRAL RAIL MERGER BIGGEST IN HISTORY: The government yesterday approved the biggest merger in history, uniting the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads. But 'it rejected another consolidation that would have resulted in the nation's longest rail System. The 11 . - Man Interstate Commerce Commission unanimously agreed the Pennsylvania and New York Central .should merge into a single line, absorbing all freight and passenger service of the bankrupt New York, New Haven & .Hartford Railroad. The commission, however, refused to allow the Greqt Northern, Northern Pacific and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroads to merge. Approving the Penn-Central merger because of what it termed the financial benefits to railroads, shippers and public, the ICC disapproved the northern lines merger on he ground that any financial advantages would be outweighed by a "drastic lessening of competition and adverse effects on employees." * * * GEORGIA APPEAL REJECTED BY SUPREME COURT: The Supreme Court threw out yesterday an appeal from a Georgia ruling that the Na tional Association for' the Advancement o f Colored People can be held liable for picketing ordered by its Savannah branch. The 5-4 decision, announced in a nine-word order, was vig orously •attacked by, Justice William o.'Douglas who said it, is the kind of judgment that ultimately could de stroy the NAACP and other "unpopular groups." The di rect effect is that Haldred Overstreet, a white grocer, may collect $65,793.05 in damages from the national organization, its Savannah branch and two branch offi cers. Chief justice Earl War ren and Justices William J. Brennan Jr. and Abe Fortas added their voices to Doug las' dissent.. Douglas said the NAACP's views are "anathe ma" in some parts of the country and under "vague" 'Georgia laws it could be held accountable for almost any thing its branch does. "Unpopular groups," he said, "will re ceive crushing verdicts from emotional juries." The State AFL-CIO REFUSES TO ENDORSE GUBERNATORIAL HOPEFULS: The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO adopted a "hands off" policy yesterdaK in the gubernatorial primary by refus ing to endorse any of the Democratic candidates and thus, averted a possible split in its ranks. The organization passed a resolution of non-endorsement at its seventh Constitu tional Convention following sharp debate among delegates. Sentiment was expressed for both Milton Shapp, a Phila delphia industrialist and an independent candidate for the Democratic nomipation and State' Sen. Robert P. Casey, the party organization's choice. Harry Boyer, AFL-CIO president, said, "I am far more concerned with conserving the unity of this state organization than I am in favor of furthering the candidacy of any persons seeking public office." A resolution to form a National Labor Party was also dropped. :us>.~~z~~Yw~"3.~,~:~:.'~~":"a:.~.:.:`xC~`i~a~ = :"..a~h.'a~:,"a.;x;.'».l.•~~'.si~ ;.~`"~".`_:xi~ What's Inside '°i~~:Cisa'sad,:::~.."~,;.~~'~:~'..'e»~:i~~«v.r>~e.aa..::~:~.:a.,M...« .<:R>;~'::.~~ ":'~mtw~.°„`:~ ZIEGLER, SPAGNOLLI .

' , WILLIAM 0. DOUGLAS * * SG Voices Disapproval By RICHARD WIESENHUTTER Collegian USG Reporter (- The tentative pioposals by•the Adminis trative Committee on - Student Affairs to modify the off-campus visitation rule hit the Undergraduate Student Government camp yesterday and bounced back with stern re buke.' Last night, Robert Katzenstein, USG .president, said a special USG meeting will be held tonight to formulate Congress' opin ion of the proposals. The previously sched uled meeting for tonight to swear in the new slate of USG executives has been post poned for the following .week, The Administrative Committee yesterday proposed a visitation program as part of a possible rule . change. According to the Com mittee's report, the following regulations would go into effect if the program is ap proved: •Permission for women students to visit apartments under "stated circumstances" and without any chaperonage. • *Visiting would be limited to apartment house areas that have a "party registration center." This center would be established by the student residents of the area. AWS Rejects Proposal Votes Not To Act As Police Force By JACKIE SNYDER Collegian. AWS Reporter. The Association of Women Student's Senate last night unanimously voted to voice disapproval of the proposed five point revision of the apartment ruling presently being considered by the Admin istrative Committee on Student Affairs. AWS President Alexis Brown stated that the -group would not act as a police force. She said that_ this does not mean the organization is shirking responsibility, "I personally would like responsibility and, by working on this issue for the pat three years, this is what we have been working toward. If thic Bonrrt of Control is approved by the Administra tive Committee, they 'will be eskity• us to take responsibility , for enforcing a rule which we had no part in making," she explained. • The resolution which was approved by the Senate read: "We, the Association of Women Students Senate recognize that the proposal presently being considered by the 'Administrative. Committee on 'Stu dent Affairs , regkrajpg:Apartment„visita tion is just , a proposal. Buras ,such; we, the 'representatives of women studentS, feel that this is against the wishes of women students thus, we do not support the proposal." In discussing -a statement allegedly made by Dean of Men Frank J. Simes stating that if the Town Independent Men refused to act as an enforcement body then the Dean of ,Men's staff would do this, Miss Brown expressed doubt that the Dean of Women's office would take a Students M Protest Apo By JOYCE McKEEVEB Collegian Staff Writer While most students tacitly accepted the Administration's new ruling on apartment vis itation, a handful of students took-their objec tions to Old Main at 3 p.m. yesterday. With a downpour of rain against them, about 25 students made the five-minute march from the Hetzel Union Building to Old,Main. Their meeting with the Dean of Men, Frank J. Simes, was even shorter. •The group by-passed the Office of Student Affairs for Simes' office because of a report in The Daily Collegian 'yesterday that ,only the dean voted against unlimited- visitation. Meanwhile David Ferleger (4th-science- Philadelhpia) the leader of the demonstration, asked the students who had crowded into the office to remain quiet and orderly. After they* had talked to Simes, Ferleger said "we. will remain for about 10 seconds in prayer ,for the administration.'' Dressed in raincoats and sporting dripping umbrellas, the protestors planted themselves in neat rows before the secretary's desk. When they left, a short three minutes later, the only sign of their visit was a well-spotted, wet rug. Only one representative was permitted into Simes' personal . office. The University coed asked Simes to come out in the outer office where she Would read a prepared statement before the demonstrators. The dean insisted that she read the statement there. "We have read the Administration's pro posals in the Collegian this morning and are angry at the lack of respect and understanding you have shown to the years of effort the stu dent groups have dedicated to the formulation .WR.E . To:Aik:Senate Help By CLIFF ELLNER Collegian Staff Writer Robert A. Gallagher (12th-Secondary Education-Philadelphia),'• president of the Student Union for. Racial Equality, an nounced last night that SURE will introduce a resolution on non-discrimination at next Tuesday's meeting of the University Senate. Gallagher, speaking at a.meeting of the State 'College Committee for Human Rights at the Grace Lutheran Church, said that the resolution was the "mast reasonable" move which could be made at this time. "Who else have we got to turn to?" he asked. Gallagher's announcement .of the SURE move came after Rev. Arthur Seyda, newly elected president of the Committee, had told, the members about the results of thd grOup's, effort to recruit Negro students to the Uni versity last weekend. ' - ' Seyda called the, visitation prOject "worthwhile." He pointed out,however, that the visiting Negro students, from high sch,ools in Philadelphia and New York City, were "pretty highly motivated students"—which made the job easier. • • "Next year," he added, "we can do a better job."' UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 28, 1966 'No Agreement with A eti. joint Town Independent Men-Asso ciation of Women Students 'Control Board to enforce rules. This would have functions similar to the Interfraternity Council Board of Control. None of these proposals hmre been totally agreed upon yet by the Administrative Com mittee although it has voted unanimously for a change in the present University 'rule prohibiting- coeds from visiting all off-cam pus men's residences. Denunciation of Proposals "I expect that a strong denunciation of the proposals (of the Administrative Commit tee) will be presented tonight," Katzenstein said. None of the Committee's proposals are good workable ones in any point," he added. Katzenstein also said he, expects the USG Congress to pass a resolution which he said he will submit, to express its "dis approval with the proposals." Richard Kalich, USG pkesident-elect, said he also expects "USG to come' out against the proposals and to come out strongly as a united front." At 11 a.m. today, Kalich, along with Alexis Brown, AWS president; Ed Cress man, TIM president; Dorothy' J. Harris, Dean of Women and Clifford Nelson, co- similar stand. She said, "The two staffs are operating under two different philoso phies. The Dean of Women's office does not police." Degrading Organizations Comments_ made by AWS Senate members were many ; but they generally expressed the sentiments voiced in, the resolution. One member expressed the view that acceptance of such a proposal would be "kind of degrading to the stu dent government organizations" because it is contrary to all the suggestions made by' them. .

' arch On Simes; . rtment Proposal of realistic apartment visitation regulation," the statement read. He went to the outer office where students remained lined in rows, and announced that he would take the accepted statement. Ferleger asked Simes to explain why the ruling was made without consideration for Undergraduate Student Government and the Association of Women's students propdsals. Simes replied, "I don't want to answer. I Will work with Undergraduate Student 'Govern ment through the appropriate channels." Pressed further by — Ferleger, Simes snapped, "No comment," and returned to his office. In an interview with' the Collegian later, Simes 'took the short protest in a lighterf "It does demonstrate something, but this is all I have to say," simes noted, adding, "let the picture speak for itself." To the protest leader, Ferleger, the demon stration was an indication of what students could do with a half-hour's notice. Actually it took a little more than that. Plans for a demonstration Tuesday were talked about at the Ad Hoc ,Committee for Student Freedom booth On the ground floor of the HUB. . The group adjourned to the HUB desk at 2:45 p.m. They were halted tempOrarily by organizational difficulties and made three sep arate attempts to leave the building en masse. Ferleger said the meeting with Simes made him "physically sick although his attitude was characteristic of .other administrators." "I had thought he would, be able to justify the ruling and prepare some reasons for the action," Ferleger said. Simes "no comments" just made him more militant, 116 added. Seyda, who_ had ~ e xperience with the racial problem when he was head of an inter racial North Philadelphia parish, pointed out that "we had about six students who ap plinl" to the University as a result of their visits. In. , ..4ddition, Seyda' said, "We also had the Offer of a scholarship from a State College businessman." , • Seyda said that the invitation of Negroes to .the University was only one way •to at tack the alleged race,problem. In addition to publicity, he said,: "You have to do some thing about the problem. And we do have a problem," he- added. • Gallagher,• citing SURE's recent survey s of Negro students at the University,' agreed with Seyda, "About a ;fourth of the Negro* population"•,responded to the survey, he said, "and basically what - they had to say was, `There is a problem: ". , He based ,his conclusion - on the number of Negroes enrolled here; he said, on a count taken by SURE members at- Spring Term registration. .

One typi , 4, artment Proposals' ordinator of religious affairs, will meet with Frank J. Simes, Dean of Men, to discuss the Administrative Committee's proposals. "Ridiculous" Proposals _ Commenting on the Administrative Committee's program, Katzenstein labeled the party registration center and TIM-AWS Board of Control proposals "absolutely ridi culous." But, he added that the proposal to eliminate chaperones at apartment parties was an "excellent idea." "I'm deeply disappointed in the lack of attention that has been given to the stu dent point of view in these proposals," Katzenstein continued. "I approve the posi tion of the Dean of Men as he comes in con tact with many problems of student life," the USG president went on, "but I can't sympathize when he turns a deaf ear to the students." ' Katzenstein explained that he was "not advocating complete freedom for the sake of advqcating complete freedom." He is, rath er, "sincerely looking for a solution that will better the University. I cannot see how this tentative proposal will make Penn State a better institution," he concluded. Cressman similarly supported Katzen stein's views. •He also decried the proposals In other busineis, the Senate, was addressed by Robert Gallagher, president of the Student Union for Racial Equality, who informed the group of possible racial discrimination, on the University campus. "The Senate then voted to "support the establishment of a ,committee of the Uni versity Senate to investigate possible racial discrimination.". Gallagher also informed the group of the availability of speakers who can be contacted through SURE to visit the residence halls and discuss the racial problem. . cal response criticized the "passive and in different" attitude of white students towards colored ones; another pointed out that "they make me feel out of place." The SURE goal is to have the dis crimination• issue fully investigated by the University Senate, and to this end it has petitioned the Association of Women Stu dents and .the Undergraduate Student Gov ernment for support and resolutions. AWS, at, its meeting last night, passed a resolu tion urging such a Senate investigation. Through Proper Channels It was later revealed that at least four members of the Committee for Human Rights either have Senate seats or direct access to a Senator, and action will be taken to insure that the:resolution is introduced thi . dugh proper committee channels. "We are not saying," Gallagher insisted, "that the University discriminates. But why the lovi' number of Negro students?" As, an enigmatiC footnote to the issue, Gallagher noted that the University of Ala bama, where Gov. George Wallace barred Negroes from entrance,'now boasts some 350 Negro students—over 100 more than attend Penn State. IBRARY 2 COPIES Roundtable To Discuss Alternatives To Draft The RevA Alan Cleeton, di rector of the Wesley Founda tion, informed The Daily Col legian last eevning that a Stu dent-Faculty Roundtable dis cussion will be held at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Fireside Room at the Wesley Foundation. The tonic of the 'discussion will be "You and the Draft." The five speakers to be pres ent are: Cleeton; Wells Ked die, assistant professor of labor studies; Raymond Ayoub, pro fessor of mathematics; James Kaplan, chairman of the Legal Awareness • Committee; Roger Marsh, member of Student Peace Union. The subjects to be discussed include: •History of the draft, • Present regulations con cerning student deferment. • Similarity of draft regula tions in other countries. W. To Propose Investigation , . , David Zurndorfei; Urvierar , duate c'fiiriPnt Govern ment treasurer-elect, and Bill Cowan, Men's Residence Council president, will present a but t s t me USG meet ing tonight to investigate.the possibility of a discrimina tion problem on campus. The bill is the result of recent surveys on the subject by Students for Racial Equality and University Affairs Office. The bill, if passed, would also recommend that the University Senate set uo s 'iuman relations committee to give a student who feels he has been discriminated against, "channels to voice his complaint," Zurndorfer said. --Collegian -Photo by Deb Stoddard We Are Angry ... At The Lack Of Respect --See Page 2 as "ludicrous and ridiculous. They are vio lations of the downtown, man's right of pri vacy," he said. "They certainly are not what the town men want." No Support Cressman said he has "no intention of supporting the program," adding that "it's about time the Administration realized stu dents are a part of this University, not just the administration and the faculty." Miss Brown commented, A AWS will not be a police force. Last night, the AWS Con gress unanimously voted its disapproval of the proposals. Hunt was not available for comment yesterday. USG has been involved in the contro versial apartment issue since last term when it and AWS advocated changes in the rule. Both student organizations submitted pro posals to the Administrative Committee call - ing for a liberalization of the rule. •USG had proposed freedom for all coeds under 21 years of age and who have their parents' approval to visit off-campus men's residences. AWS had asked for no restrictions of Coeds' visitation rights. They proposed com plete absence of restrictions in this area. 'Position of the "conscien tious objector." •Graduate school or the draft. •Abridgement of civil liber ties. Social and economic impli cations of the draft. The purposes of the Round table. according to Cleeton„.are to discuss the draft situation, to inform students of the present regulations, and to consider alternatives to the draft. No legislation or other politi cal action is contemplated. The discussion is designed to be in formational rather than activ ist, according to Cleeton. Sponsorship for the discus sion is by the Wesley Founda tion, SENSE, Women's Interna tional League for Peace and Freedom, and the Friends Peace Committee. Refreshments will be served Gallagher also outlined the group's oth er aims: . •The establishment of an office to be used as a campus headquarters., Wesley Foundation.. has indicated its intention to provide space for such an office. '•Solicitation of letters of support from campus organizations. • Sermons by local clergymen in sup port of the equal rights movement. •A leiter-writing campaign to Univer sity President Eric A. Walker,, and other University administrators. •An extensive membership drive, with proceeds going for printing and other costs: , 4A request that USG establish a "griev ance system" which would be an effective force to counteract known cases of discrimi nation. A SURE survey, it was noted, de tected at least five cases of State College housing discrimination. Possible suggestion of an "approved housing list" which would require that land lords sign a non-discriminatory clause. Such action must be taken soon ; said Gallagher. "We have not," he concluded, "gotten an overwhelming endorsement from the University Administration." ' Letters SIX CENTS
